Hopkintons' snow day dilemma is solved. See letter below from Superintendent Hiersche to parents went out this afternoon.

Dear Parents/Guardians:

At last night’s, March 21st, School Committee meeting the Committee voted to amend this year’s school calendar to include an early dismissal day on Friday, March 29th. This will allow us to maintain the last day of school on June 28th. This will fulfill our 180 day obligation. Other choices considered were to hold school on a Saturday or a day during April vacation.

Below is a link to the School Policy IMDC of the Policy Manual. This policy provides guidance if you choose not have your child attend school religious reasons. http://www.hopkinton.k12.ma.us/cms/lib4/MA01001785/Centricity/Shared/Sch...

Dismissal times on March 29th will be as follows:

  • Center School Grade 1 and AM Kindergarten - 12:05 PM (No PM Kindergarten)
  • Elmwood School – 11:25 PM
  • Hopkins School – 12:05 PM
  • Middle School – 10:45 AM
  • High School – 10:45 AM

The morning Kindergarten session will be held on Friday. The afternoon Kindergarten will not.

Transportation details will be provided through a separate list-serv message early next week.

Sincerely,

Steven A. Hiersche
Superintendent of Schools
